<p>My S was assigned a single on the third floor of Lee. He will be a freshman. What is that dorm like?</p>
<p>Lee is a traditional dorm (healthy living dorm along with Beaumont House). The Resident Advisors are are really nice at Lee! It is nice that S has a single...no roommate issues then.</p>
<p>Thanks for the info. My S wanted a single in the traditional dorms so he got his first choice. Sounds like Lee is a good option for him. Does healthy living mean substance free? I think I recall him checking something like that when he filled out the application.</p>
<p>No, Lee is not sub free, but both Beaumont and Lee team together to promote healthy living issues. Your S is in good hands at Wash U. This school should be included in the book "Schools that Change Lives." You will see what I mean soon.....My S is a resident advisor at Beaumont House and he said that Lee House has an excellent staff, resident advsiors (juniors & seniors).</p>
<p>to reply to the idea of a triple being incredibly noisy, it's just not true. I lived in a triple my freshman year and I loved, loved, loved it. My roommates were very considerate and I could study in my room with no problems. I did go to the library a lot, but only because my floor was very close and I had problems making myself study knowing all my friends were right across the hall... haha so that's a self-control issue, not a noise issue. oh and FYI some of the dorms (I know koenig does, but I'm not sure which others) have study rooms on each floor, and most have conference rooms downstairs that are great study places. PS I don't remember any naked people... so either they weren't there or darn it, I missed the spectacle of all these naked people! That would be an awfully good conversation point...
oh, and about the coed floors: they actually work out really well, especially if you're like me and a lot of your friends are the opposite sex. you get really comfortable around each other after a few weeks.</p>
<p>S was in a forced triple in Koenig as a freshman that worked out fine, and he had a good lottery number for his sophomore room because of it. Was a handicapped room, so huge bathroom that only the 3 of them shared (instead of sharing amongst 4). He was able to study in his room sometimes, and also remember a lot of the dorms have study rooms so even if the student can't study in his/her room he/she doesn't necessarily have to go to the library.</p>
<p>This is about modern dorms in general...</p>
<p>Even though there are "private bathrooms" shared between suites, are there still "public" bathrooms on each floor? You know...just in case a roommate takes too much time in the shared one?</p>
<p>nope. but there are "public" bathrooms in the basement. no showers, just bathrooms.</p>
<p>To nmsgkil - my daughter is also in a triple in Beaumont. Where are you from? Is your daughter in the summer program by any chance? I'm just wondering if our daughters are going to be roommates.</p>
<p>Amazon,
I have sent you a private message with some information about my D.</p>
<p>I'm in room 302 i think...a triple</p>
